Meet Alexander the Great!
o Alexander was tutored by Aristotle (the guy some people think was the smartest guy, you know… ever.)
o Became king of Macedonia at the age of 20.o In 10 years of almost non-stop conquest, he
assembled one of the largest empires in human history – (it stretched across 3 continents), and he did it 350 years before Jesus was born.

The Roman Empire:
o Ruled over Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia for 500 years.

Xerxes’ Persians: About 2,600,000
